Only one Pilot left on it mate, and it's getting ready for swapping tbf.

Being as you've bumped this, i may aswell update too.
Passenger Sparco is FITTED!
Buuuut, the 'low' OMP sidemounts i ordered are too low. I can't see over the wheel lol. So i have ordered another 'mid' sidemount and the 'low' one's are up for sale if anyone want's them. Pics to come later in the week as it's bloody freezing outside!!!!

well nice mate very clean

ahhh fair enough, I wanted some michelins for mine but you can't get them anywhere.
also struggling to yoko A539's, all the good tyres are dying out!

I know what you mean dude. I haven't been able to find any Michelin's either.

well michelin dont make them in that size any more, so theres only a couple left in the country :( dont really wanna go for energy savers.

OOOooo just noticed you have a monster! I was looking at those this time last year and decided to get a gixxer 6 instead, how you liking the servicing costs? lol

Tbh dude, my dad's a mechanic and auto electrician, so anything regarding servicing and maintanence cost's me for part's only. So it isn't that bad. Although i'm buying a clutch soon, that's £150 :( lol.
Thinking of getting a Kwak Z750 next year though :)
Ducati has a progress thread on here and shall have some nice update's in the next month or two aswell ;)

Lucky then, sod doing a belt change on one of thoses!
get the z1000 the 750 will leave you wanting more and the 1000 is as quick to 120 as my 600! and mines cresent tuned!

Belt change is easy mate... for my dad anyway lol. And it wasn't that pricey either.

Right, seat has been fitted a week or so now but been slow getting pics up lol...



Also, not sure if i mentioned, but i ordered a Griffith's quickshift, but only just before xmas, so not sure when it's going to come. Been wanting to order one for ages, but just never done it lol :y:

Also, forgot to add that i've now got both seats fitted with 'medium' height OMP mounts. Happy with the way they sit :)

liking them, do seem to sit right :)

love the seats mate!!!!

Cheers folks. Definetely gives a better driving experience! :)

Know how you feel mate.

Seats look ace mate. JEALOUS comes to mind. Good choices.

Cheers dude. It's starting to come together.

To finish off the inside i plan on:

-Flock
-New Carpet?
-New Mats
-Carbon Doorcards
-300mm Momo Team
-Gearknob to match the Momo as that will be all the chrome gone then (apart from cage)
-Paint the back

:)

ahhh love the seats and harnesses chip :y:

the seats are so nice!!!!

Again, cheers folks :) Really like the seats, they seem comfy enough and look the business imo.

Glad i went for 3 points... My mate has err think they are 4 points, with crotch strap and as nice as they are i reckon they're a little too much for a road car.

yeah i agree with the three points. all thats needed for road use.

thought about painting the cage gloss black if your getting rid of all the chrome?

I've thought about it but tbh i like the cage in chrome shows it off abit... I know it's only a show cage and they have haters, but it's become part of the car for me so it's staying.

As another small update, i've just fitted a smaller aerial, an oem looking aerial though. Nothing chavvy but looks really good. I'll get picture's when i can be arsed lol.

Should have got the aerial bung mate, I keep meaning to myself. Looking forward to seeing more pics though

Nah dude. I don't want bungs in my roof :S The only way i'd get rid of the aerial is by having the roof smoothed. A random grommit isn't really my thang lol :)

Cars looking good matey.

Means alot of you dude, always loved you're car :)

Fair play. each to their own i guess. Just cost a lot more to smooth so guess it depends on funds and priority for ya

That's the thing dude. My main priority for the new year is inside and handling :)

Reminds me of my car a little lol :)

Looking good mate!

My fav colour aswel tbh.

Quickshift has arrived folks :) Didn't expect it today, but all good lol. Hopefully fit it in the morning :y:

Bit of a lousy update due to lack of pics but then not too easy to show you the quickshift fitted. It's on though :)

Seats look awesome CHIP:y: looks nice your car does:)

it would be easy to get pics of a proper quickshift *cough*b&m*cough*

I'm liking the Blue and gloss black combo - very nice motor you have there Chip
I used to have one of them quickshifts in my old 106 - made a good difference for not a lot of money and pretty easy to install aslong as the joints arn't siezed on the linkages :p

Hope to see this at one of the meets :y:

Cheers dude, be good if we can get everything sorted as saod on the PM. Looking forward to it :D

Oi, less fellow Maritius brother haha. I would have gone for a b&m but i didnt have the money and also this way i don't have to remove the plastics... Which is what i wanted really incase i one day decide to have leather or similar.

Cheers dude. Suprised i haven't seen you around Mansfield tbh.

Likewise I have never seen you around even when I'm in my van lmao
Whereabouts do ya live in Mansfield?

Gorgeous looking car you have there :y:

notice the difference with the quickshift? seats and harnesses look spot on there boy!

Yeah i wanna know if theres any difference too.. cause i was looking at one of these too.

Also agree'd some sweet looking seats matey

Guys I had this quickshift on my 106 and there is a definate difference but you've gotta be more careful with it when chaging gears because the throw is atleast 40 - 50% less than before :)

I'd agree with that tbf. Only driven it once so far but it seems good but is going to take a little getting used to.

Azza, i live round the corner from the Ling Forest pub!
